I'm THIS CLOSE to dropping Robin

[KenK]

Can we get Chuck Dixon back on the book, or something? 'Cause I swear, I feel like I've just been getting the book outta habit for the last four or five years. There are gems here and there, but dammit of the series as a whole has been rather bleh. This latest issue wasn't any better with the damn "message" and all.

Just drop it, man.

They'll never change anything if you just keep buying the book. No reason to.

Your money's going to them. For a product that you're not satisfied with.

Buy something else.

I filpped through the lastest issue of Robin. From the suicide hotline number at the last page I guess that dude on the roof was going to kill himself before Robin talked him out of it. Buying a "very special episode" issue of a comic would seriously suck

That was essentially it. I don't think there's a way you can peg the suicide hotline number and not make it look like an after-school special.

It seems like a waste of an issue really. I suppose it partially deals with a lot of Tim's agnst, but it's not helping me want to read the book again.

Four or five YEARS?!? Jesus Christ. You're not about to drop it, then. If you can read through five years of stories you don't like, I don't know what's going to make you see the light.

This past issue was a boring after school special, but I've really like Robin as of late. Especially since OYL. There's no way I'd drop this book.

I agree. He's bluffing. He'll keep supporting his character each month praying for a new writer or at least better stories.:rolleyes:






















I did the same thing with Daredevil in the Bendis Years. As bad as it was I just couldn't imagine the pull box without Daredevil. :o

Funny thing is, I've never bought an issue of this Robin series but plan on doing so for the Klarion issues. We'll see if it takes and who knows, maybe I'll like them so much that I can take your place if you leave.

I did the samething with Nightwing for years. Glad that's over! :D

The OYL stuff has been utter shinola. The first arc was one of the stupidest stories I've read in a comic in sometime. Probably up there with that X-Men/FF crossover from a couple years ago.

I did.

I followed the book for years, even through years of stories I didn't like.

I took one look at the latest "very special issue" or Robin and I knew it was time to stop. I'm satisfied at this point that they're not going to stop making the title, which was the reason I kept collecting. Right now the best thing I can do for Tim is stop reading his book.

I've been really enjoying OYL Robin. I especially liked this last issue. Sure, you can call it an "after school special," but I thought the writing was very emotional and made the story feel real. Adam Beechen is doing a great job on the book and it's a shame that people have written it off.

Dude just drop it. It'll be okay.

The ammount of adverts in this issue alone was silly, out of the 44 pages 20 of them was some kind of advert or "Bonus" Cartoon Teen Titans comic (that was 8 pages in its self) and the damn Hero Scape stuff that keeps poping up in comics with the 3D glasses just grips my s**t too.

If you're getting it because you liked Klarion in '7 Soldiers' you might want to give this a pass.
